What I am attempting to do, is basically load a vector from another function. The code below is what I have attempted, but it won't work. In short, I declare a vector that will contain pointers to a struct. I pass the address of the vector to another function that will create a number of structs using malloc and store the pointers to those memory locations in the Vector. It doesn't seem to be working, can anyone help??

typedef my_struct* struct_ptr;
typedef struct my_struct{
double value;
}MY_STRUCT;

void loadvector(vector<struct_ptr>* structPtr_vector){
for(int j = 0; j < 10; j++){
struct_ptr thePtr = (struct_ptr)malloc(sizeof(MY_STRUCT));
structPtr_vector.push_back(thePtr);
}
}

void function_1(){
vector<struct_ptr> structPtr_vector;
function_2(&structPtr_vector);
printfVector(structPtr_vector); //code not here I got this...
}
